Playing with us:
Players
of all skill levels are encouraged to come out. Our team
is Co-Ed and everyone gets plenty of playing time as long as
they come out to practice. Dues are $25 (low for any club
sport) and get you a jersey, disc, and opportunities to play
in PFF's tournaments throughout the year. Just come out to practice:
|
-
Monday through Friday
- 4pm
to 6pm
- On
the valley intramural field--at the north end of Washington
Street (past Pizza House and the freshman dorms), near the
tennis courts.

but this is our latest.)

History
How old is the team? Sometimes
we feel like old men and women after long tournaments, but the
team itself was founded in 1998.
By our math, that means we're in our eighth
year.
Whose fault is it? In an article
written for the Gettysburgian, Gettysburg College's school
newspaper, two of the team's founders, Andy Stephenson and Ryan
Adams, confess: |
...[T]he
start of ultimate as a club sport is very similar to the start
of the frisbee. On April 4th 1682, a Puritan in New England
threw a pie pan at his child for not getting his Bible verses
correct. The child, Sean Fleming, realized that this could
be turned into something special and the destined pie pan
became the infamous frisbee. Similarly, on April 2nd 1998,
concussion struck again when a frisbee was thrown, hitting
Andy Stephenson. From his deluded trance that followed, Andy
decided to form an ultimate team.

Web Site
This Web site is the best I've ever seen. Who made it?
Whopper and Flagger take both the credit
and the blame for everything you see here at the moment; Whopper just graduated so he'll probably be heckling Flagger from the digital sidelines now. Heck, sometimes the site is even updated. Flagger can be contacted at:
